Beyond Resistance Pod
Just 2 local organizers (Sarah Schulz & Jennifer Austin - Midland, MI) trying to stay sane through 4 more years of chaos and helping progressive groups in Red counties turn their voters Blue!
- A good leader recognizes and elevates other leaders. Delegate and find others' best magic. It's impossible (and detrimental to the work) to do everything yourself! #OrganizingTip #BeyondResistance #BluePower
- When Sarah ran for office in 2018, the previous Democrat lost by 20 points. People in power told her it was impossible. She lost by 4. That's a 16 point shift in 2 years! Winning isn't always a "W". Sometimes it's shifting power & our Blueprint can help! beyondresistancepod.com #Grassroots
- Use data and technology to help create your best campaign and organizing strategies and targets, but always approach every situation with heart. Empathy and connection are the factors that bring people together, not data points. #BeyondResistance #MovementMindset #Organize
- 🚨 Hot take: Performative doesn’t mean useless. In this episode, we talk about why signs, hats, symbols & small actions are often the gateway to real organizing—not the enemy. If we want people to level up, we have to stop shutting them down on Level 1! @barbbyrum.bsky.social
- ➕ a conversation w/ County Clerk Barb Byrum on elections, misinformation & social media warriors for good! 🎧 New episode out now. #BeyondResistance #MovementBuilding Find this episode and more here on YouTube, on our website, and your favorite podcasting platform! beyondresistancepod.com
- It’s not the parties. It’s the power and the money. Another reason why no one should be a billionaire. #PowerCorrupts #TaxTheRich
- You'd think good policy would speak for itself, but our culture often dictates how people feel about any given issue. If you want to pass good policy, you have to get people behind it, and that means changing the culture. #Collectivism #CommunitySupport #Culture #Policy
- It isn't easy in red communities, but it's necessary. Even if you don't think you can elect Democrats (you can, so try), encouraging like-minded people to apply for boards & committees is essential to name recognition, being heard & advancing priorities. #LocalGovernment #GetInvolved #BeHeard
- Democracy doesn’t die from disagreement. 🤬 It dies when we stop believing people can change. 🌈 But it's worth your time AND your hope. 🧎♀️➡️🧎♂️ 🎙️ New episode out now. @mcbride.house.gov Find episodes at beyondresistancepod.com or on your favorite podcast platforms! #hope #faith #democracy
- The Trump regime’s purge across the country and especially in Minneapolis is unlawful and dangerous. It needs to stop now! #ICEOutNow #LiamRamos #Minneapolis
